Deputy Premier Steven Miles has announced a plan for the development of 30,000 new homes in Caboolture West.

Miles says the government and Moreton Bay Regional Council will work with the private sector and utility providers to improve housing choice and affordability.

The development is part of the department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning’s effort to tackle short-term land supply challenges in South-East Queensland.

Miles said the site is expected to provide homes for 70,000 people.
